Transportation BY Pipe Lines.

The cheapest and most convenient of all artif-
eial methods Of transportation yet devised, Is by
lines of wrought iron pipe, supplied when ne
cessary, with suitable force pumps at proper
intervals.
1t is admirably adapted for the conveyance OF
oil, water, and every kind of liquid, and for every
sort of gas. Water for irrigation and mining,
can be moved for any distance by this means.
The best pipe for these purposes Is made OF
wrought iron, provided all parts of its manutac.
ture are well and skillfully done, and PROVIDED
the proper joint Is used.
Careful pipe makers select choice pig metal,
and from it make, under their own super.
vision, and through the various processes oil
pudding, plate making, turning down. welding
and finishing. all the high test pipe they sell.
The Chester Pipe and Tube Company is sup-
plied with plate iron from Works identlcaliy
owned and no pains or cost is spared to have It's
pipe and tubing of the highest grade
we make and test pipe capable of resisting any
desired pressure up to 1000 pounds Per
square inch
Our threads are tapered true, both on pipe and
socket, that iron joints against the iron thro-
oughout the entire length OF the thread tnus

SAVED MY MOTHERS LIFE

Ever since / can remember, my mother has
suffered from milk leg. Nothing would do her
any good. She had he best medical talent, but
they ali did her no good. She suffered with her
leg for thirty years and never knew a well day.
She would have to sit up half the night, holding
up her leg and moaning She had no peace. She
used all the best known remedies in the country
without effect. asked her to try your CUTICURA
REMEDIES. Got her bottle of CUTICURA REsoL-
VENT and she took it, and has taken in all about
six or seven bottles, and now she is a well wo-
man to-day. Her leg is entirely healed, and her
health was never better She can go out every
day, something she has not done in ten years, so
you see / cannot help stating tc you about your
wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES. You have saved
my mothers life. l cannot find words to ex-
press my gratitude. | have advertised your

ON WHICH HE HAD BEEN AT WORK.

"Lera, dear one, l love you with all my
heart and soul, and l would marry you to-
morrow-yes, now, this moment, if
could"
There was deep silence for an instant,
then Lera said:
"Supposing l should marry you, Ray
mond, and never love you. Could you, be
happy them"
Raymond Kingsley drew in his breath
with a sharp cry, then he answered:
My all-absorbing love for you, my
Lera, must and will win your love in return.
Only marry me, and will be content to
wait until my patient love shall reap its
own reward"
Raymonds face was deathly white as he
awaited her reply.
Poor Lera! how could she tell him that
her love was given long ago to handsome,
careless Archie Ashton, a mn who had
never asked her to love him. He had never
limited as to whether or not he loved her,
it was true; but he had looked it, and al
ways seemed happy when in her company.
His eyes wore a tender. sOftened look
in their clear, laughing depths
that she never saw in them
at any other time. All, she loved Archie
better than any one else in the wide world.
The sound of his voice was the sweetest
music on earth to her, and one glance
from his dark eyes would send the bright
bushes into her checks, and the touch of
his hand filled her with unspeakabIe hap
pinesI.
Could she tell all this to Raymond
Kingsley? tell him that if Archie Ashton
had asked her to marry him she would
have answered yes, but that he had not
and never would?
10 Of hnJ
a fortnight, and only the day before he
left she had seen him driving. and beside
him, smiling into his face, was the most
beautiful wOmln she had ever seen. A be-
witching blonde beauty, all velvet and
seal-skin, bright eyes, and sunny golden
hair. Her clear, silvery laughter mingled
with the chime of the sleigh bells as they
glided by, SO absorbed in themselves that
poor Lera was unnoticed.
With trembling hands she had pulled
down her veil to hide her burning tears.
Two ladies were walking directly ahead of
her, laughing and talking loud enough for
her to hear.
Archie Ashton's new lady -love! Beau
tiful, isn't she2'
"What a tlirt he is" remarked her COM
panion. Il really thought he had made
up his mind to marry Lera Grantey; he
has been quite devoted to her of late"
All that will end now" said the first
speaker, for he is engaged to be married
TO the lady with whom he is riding. She
is visiting at his house. l received nv in
formation direct from member of the
family"
Just then Lera reached her own gate and
entered.
She could not tell Raymond this. In
an instant her resolution was formed. She
would marry Raymond, and crush her love
for Archie Ashton out of her heart forever.
She would give herself to Raymond, and
try to make him happy. Once married,
she might forget Archie.
All this passed like flash through Lera
Grantleys mind as she stood by Raymond
Kingsley side and listened to his plead.
ings for her love.
She did not know, poor girl, that mar
riage with another could not blot out the
past, that marriage without love could re-
suit only in uncomfortable, never-ending
misery for them both.
Very soft and low came her reply: Il

Only for a second, then sudden strength
came to her, and she wrenched herself
away, and stood looking at him, with tears
binding her eyes.
II can but repeat what l have already
said 1t is too late
"Oh. think, darling, of my great love.
Have you no love to give me, Lera2 NV
life Is i'll your hands, to make or mar. You
have made a mistake; YOU do not love
Raymond Kingsley. 1t is not too late,
Lera. BE my wife. Do not refuse me"
His voice. the voice she loved so we'll -
was husky and shook with emotion. The
bright, handsome face was fun of love and
tenderness; the dark eyes had lost their
laughing light, and were filled with n
pleading wistfulness.
All, how her heart yearned toward him.
The temptation was terrible. week ago
the knowledge that this man loved her
would have made her the happiest woman
III the world, and now it made her the
most miserable. He loved her, and she
must send him away.
Her promise had been given to Ray
mond Kingsley, n true and honorable man,
and she would keep that promise, no mat
fer what the cost. Her voice was low and
clear as she made rep V:
Il am Raymond kingsley's promised
wife, and again | tell you ii is too late.
"Lera! Lena! pity me. You do love me
I feel sure of it.
| He never forgot the expression of un-
utt rable misery on her face Us she turned
toward him.

lie looked lmplOrlnSly at her while tears

and was ready to return to the ball room.
He could not let her 30 out of his life like
this He was sure that he loved her madly,
and his love absorbed all his better
thoughts. 1t did not occur to him that he
was acting dishonomble in pleading for the
love of another mans promised wife lie
could see, spite of her efforts to hide it,
how much it cost her to appear calm.
"Lem, he cried, the terrible words you
have Just spoken are but to test my love.
| You do not mean them. can not live with

MIR. Ashton" Leras voice sounded
cold and calm as she interrupted HIM.

termination; and if you continue to talk to
me of your love, knowing | am another
mans promised wife, fear | shall lose the
respect | have always entertained for you
The music has ceased. Let us return to
the ball room"
A sudden agony that was near akin to
madness seized upon Archie Ashton, but
before he could utter n word the consorvn-
tory began to fill with weary dancers, and
it was too late to say more.
Recovering himself with a mighty effort
he offered Lera his arm, and they returned

sweet mouth eloquent with sorrow, and the
dark hazel eyes dewy with recent tears.
Raymond Kingsley almost crushed the
small white hands he held and caused a
cry of p lin to escape the girls pale lips.
sob, my darling! forgive me; my great
love has almost driven me beside myself"
Then clasping her in his arms he con-
tinued:
God knows how l worship you, Lera;
can not give you up! My darling, | can
not"
His voice trembled with infinite tender
ness and love, and he smoothed the dark
waves of his darling's hair with gentle,
caressing touch.
Lera Grantley was crying softly. She
did not love him, but she could not bear to
be the cause of his suffering
Raymond, she said, sadly and sorrow
fully, Raymond, | am truly sorry you love
me so much; | am not worthy of 1t, believe
me-"
"Lera, dearest, will win your love; only
marry me is all l ask. Give yourself to
me, my dearest.
With all of an ardent lovers eloquence
he pleaded.

Would you marry me now, knowing that
